Thoughts on 6ACV20 - Neutopia - SPOILERS

[Reply #160 on:]

Maybe it's just the camera angle...?

I will watch this episode again this weekend. Perhaps my opinion might change upon another viewing.

Also, as I was explaining to leiapadme77 last weekend, I was eating Panda Express noodles at the time and it was like ALL VEGETABLES. It was very irritating.

This was a bottom-5 episode for me. I found the humor to be some of the stalest this side of the average newspaper comics page.

If I wanted hackneyed gender-stereotype gags, I'd dig up some old Cathy strips. I'm surprised there wasn't a joke about leaving the toilet seat up. Or was there? It kind of all blurred together.

[Reply #162 on:]

... How does the vegetable to noodle ratio of your meal have to do with the quality of the episode? I am so confuzzled...


Kryten: don't believe it went that far. However, I'm sure there were a few pages dropped from the gender swapping section of the episode that probably had that joke in there. I'll be giving it and some older episodes another viewing this weekend with my five day weekend to see if I really didn't like it as much as I think I do.

[Reply #163 on:]

Beats me too. I think the veggies are the best part of Chinese food, but I'm weird that way.

[Reply #164 on:]

basing an episode on 1950's stereotypes has been a staple of this show. 'roswell that ends well', elements of 'war is the h-word' and 'amazon woman in the mood', 'the scary door', ect.

maybe that was why i rank 'neutopia' among some of my favorites. *

* yes, it is early; but, i've seen it over 5 times already. another top episode in the new run is "a clockwork origin". different strokes for different folks, i suppose. those episodes were made just as well, while maintaining it's own feel, as some original classics.

They already did it in I Second that Emotion:

Bender, how could you flush nibbler down the toilet?!

Well first, I had to lift the seat -that was the first little annoyance. Am I right, men?

[Reply #166 on:]

Do her "girls" look bigger to anybody else?


... Hey, it's a legitimate question!

They certainly do.

I ain't no complainer!

[Reply #167 on:]

It was an alright episode but it's a shame the gender swap was in the last 6 minutes I mean why tease us with all this pictures and desc's if it's only on screen for the final act!?!?!

Once again, the writers did not plan how the show was promoted. Comedy Central was the entity that made us think that a large portion of the show was about gender switching.

Rule #37 (Faisal Nameer Jawdat): Read the thread from the beginning, or else.

[Reply #169 on:]

Beanoz4 never said it was the writers, Fnord. It is perfectly legitimate to complain about how the show was promoted.

[Reply #170 on:]

Gave it 7/10

Some good laughs

Scruffy's lines were quality though

[Reply #171 on:]

I liked it but would have preferred the misogynistic retorts to be more subtle rather than over the top and somewhat out of character (for everyone except the prof).

[Reply #172 on:]

Just seen it..

in short:

This is practically the worst Futurama episode ever... maybe there is some other worst that i cant renember right now.. but it was anoying, non-funny and full fo stupid cliches and jokes for no reason..

The entire episode is basically stereotypical gender lame jokes, there is not a single good joke in it..  this episode could simply be deleted and i wouldnt mind a bit..

of course this is my humble personal opinion

[Reply #173 on:]

of course this is my humble personal opinion

And that's why I disagree...

You disagree because it his is opinion?

Wait, what?

[Reply #175 on:]

Exactly...

[Reply #176 on:]

And i couldnt care less

Same here.

But what if it wasn't his opinion, would you then not disagree?

[Reply #179 on:]

Danny, what was the point of that? I disagree greatly with Javier Lopez' opinion on this episode, but I would never say something as lame as "I disagree because you are you, and I couldn't care less". What was the point of that except to be mean?

I wasn't trying to be mean, I was saying I disagree with Javier's opinion. Opinions aren't facts.

Then I personally believe you are an idiot.  But that's just my opinion.  I hope you cannot care less about it too, because neither can I.

Wait, why I am I even making this post then?

No, you said you disagreed because it was his opinion. As Svip said, would you have disagreed with him if he thought Neutopia was awesome / general?

[Reply #183 on:]

No, I would have agreed.

[Reply #184 on:]

No, I would have agreed.

In such case you were wrong when you said you disagreed because it was his opinion. Get it?

[Reply #185 on:]

Yes, so if he says his opinion about Benderama is positive, I would agree. If it was negative, I would disagree and vice versa.

[Reply #187 on:]

So if a = 2 you agree, but if a = 2 you disagree?

[Reply #188 on:]

So if a = 2 you agree, but if a = 2 you disagree?

I'm not good at Maths...

[Reply #189 on:]

But you do understand that 2 = 2, correct?

What you say is you disagree with Javier's opinion, simply because it is his opinion, no matter what it is. If such is the case, you would always disagree with it, no matter what it is.

Get it?

Aki, just drop it.  It is clear that Danny is either trolling or just being as stupid as he probably is.  He somehow believes that 'français' is spelt with a capital F in French and calls it 'perfection'.

[Reply #191 on:]

Yes, but I never meant that from the start. I meant I disagree with his current opinion on this episode of Futurama.

I told you it's my version of perfection...

[Reply #192 on:]

No, there's only one definition of perfection: being perfect. It's literally in the word. And being perfect means not having any mistakes. And, in French, that means not capitalizing "français". You lose, you get nothing. Good day sir.

Looks like I've invented a new definition.

Looks like you don't understand the concept of language and vocabulary.

Also, that sounds like the excuse of someone who has lost an argument.

Nope.

The idiocy is strong with this one.

Haha I like Danny's style and I understood what he meant when he said what he said. Your humor isn't lost on me.

Yes! Thank you. I like you Whatawut. You deserved the only SoA I have ever given out.

Fair point...

Of course as i said that was just my personal review, certain jokes and certain scripts will allways amuse some people and will not amuse others...  Futurama goal is to entertain everyone, not just me.. so if i dont find fun in some jokes but other people do for me its job done , good news overall..
